Solveig Strand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Solveig Strand (born 1961) is a Norwegian businessperson in shipping and fisheries, and politician for the Conservative Party.

Strand is a manager and owner of fishing vessels and companies within fisheries and investment. In 2021, she had the highest income among Norwegian female businesspeople within fisheries.[1]

When Bondevik's Second Cabinet assumed office in October 2001, Strand was named as the State Secretary for the Conservative Party's Minister of Fisheries Svein Ludvigsen.[2] She left the position in June 2002, following a case where the fish trawler Havbris was caught for irregular reporting of their fishing yields. Strand was a co-owner of this trawler, albeit a passive owner at the time.[3]

In 2007 she became the first female board member in Norges Fiskarlag.[4] In 2015 she became a board member of the Norwegian Seafood Council. She was also a board member of Marine Harvest and BN Bank.[5]
